Dear distinguished Members, Subscribers, and Authors of the Architecture+Design Community,
Last December 16, 2021, our community's base of operations in the island of Cebu, Philippines was severely damaged by super typhoon Rai (international name) / Odette (local name), considered to be the most destructive storm in the history of the region.
As a result, our entire island together with other islands, cities, and municipalities within the affected provinces of the country, lost all access to electricity, water, telephone, and internet utilities. We are currently striving to repair the massive damages this disastrous storm has caused, however we are not yet certain as to when everything will be back to normal. Most of you must have been wondering about the sudden disruption of our community services for the past several days. This was definitely beyond our control as this event was an unexpected act of nature.
As your community creator, and on behalf of @aplusd, we humbly ask for your patience, understanding, and support to bear with us during these extremely dark times. We sincerely apologize for the unexpected inconvenience this sudden turn of events has caused to your community publications, interactions, and other vital online activities.
Rest assured, with your fervent prayers, all our community operations would be stable soon. Thank you very much! Take care, and God bless everyone.
Sincerely,
ERNE
Hi Erne. Thanks for the update. I will pray for you and everyone in the Philippines as you work to rebuild.
@ybanezkim26 could you help me find a link to a post where I can help?
This post by @proteancreator really needs help. I was planning to send to her all the remaining funds I accumulated through my fundraiser.
